one can say for certain what the percentage of water is in a bottle of blood
set down in front of him. Expert knowledge is essential in order to make
any accurate calculation. And by itself, even that is not enough. A labora-
tory and equipment capable of making the necessary measurements are
also needed. Yet receptors in the cell membrane make these measurements
flawlessly, endlessly throughout a person's life, with no prior knowledge
and using no equipment. (Figure 1)
Yet the responsibilities of these tiny receptors go even further. If they
determine that the level of fluid in the blood has dropped below the neces-
sary level, they immediately take appropriate measures. This in itself is
quite extraordinary. In addition, the
receptors not only determine the

When the level of fluid in the blood
falls below normal levels, the hypo-
thalamus cells take the necessary
precautionary measures and go
